Job Description

Be Part Of A High-Performing Team:

Join a newly forming rapid innovation technology team within a large enterprise beverage manufacturing and distribution environment. This group is being built to move quickly, partner closely with the business, and create practical technology solutions that deliver near-term value. The team will focus on MVPs, proof-of-concept applications, AI-enabled tools, and scalable technical foundations that can later be expanded by enterprise delivery teams. This is a highly collaborative environment where developers will work closely with business partners, architecture leaders, and application development teams to test ideas, prove value, and help shape how emerging technology is adopted across the organization.

What's In Store For You:

This is a contract-to-hire opportunity designed for a senior engineer who wants to help build a new innovation function from the ground up. The role offers the chance to work on high-visibility initiatives, use AI in practical and creative ways, and contribute to solutions that can influence broader enterprise technology direction. The position is based onsite four days per week in Charlotte, NC, and is intended for candidates who are interested in long-term conversion to full-time employment. Engagement is W2 only with no C2C, 1099, subcontractor, sponsorship, or student visa arrangements.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Build rapid MVPs, proof-of-concept applications, and early-stage solution frameworks that prove technical feasibility and business value.
• Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand opportunities, clarify problems, and turn ideas into working technology.
• Develop backend services, APIs, business logic, integrations, and data-driven application components.
• Create scalable application skeletons that can be handed off to enterprise delivery teams for full product buildout.
